Advanced Malware Protection on the ESA

Hello Support, 

Good day everyone and hopes my mail meets you well. I wish to know if there is anyone that just enabled this security features on the ESA Ironport because I am planning to initiate it on my ESAs in a cluster but not sure if it might affect service since it's to be done in a production environment. Please, your advice is needed if this should be done in a Virtual environment first before implementing it on the production platform. If on the Virtual platform, your input will be highly appreciated on how to download a virtual ESA and run it since the one I have failed to work on my VBox. Finally, Can someone really explain to me if AMP is better to have configured on the ESA compared to Anti-Spam

Think of AMP as another virus scanner

You are totally safe to turn it on in prod.
You want both AMP and AntiSpam enabled. AMP does not replace AntiSpam.

Thanks a lot Ken. Would appreciate more advice on this especially on how to get a virtual ESA to set it up since the one I download didn't run on my VMbox. Thanks once again Ken and so grateful.

Which hypervisor are you using? I only know VMWare... they support KVM and HypervmV also... I just dont know anything about them.
